Chapter 229 Roll Call
The cow and donkey piled firewood on the pile of firewood. The cow and donkey went to the kitchen and took out a basin of water that had been dried. He drank two gulps, then took out the steamed bun and took a bite. The steamed bun held up his mouth, and he
Her mouth is bulging like a pregnant woman's belly.
Cao'er came out of the house and said to the cow and the donkey, "You are back. I made some food at home and left it in the house. Come in and eat."
Niu Donkey said, "I'll eat two bites of steamed buns to make up for it, and then I'll eat the rice you cooked."
After Niu Donkey finished chewing half of the buns, he walked into the house. This was Niu Donkey's restaurant. The floor was clean and the air was fresh. The dining table was next to the window, and a peach blossom tree could be seen outside the window.
The cow and the donkey sat down, and Cao'er took off the cover covering the food. The cow and the donkey saw that there were various dishes on the table, and the aroma was intoxicating.
Niu Donkey said, there are both meat and vegetable dishes here, which are quite rich. I think I need to drink to enjoy myself today.
Ye Duhong and Meng Hai also came over and sat down. Niu Donkey said, "Sit down first while I get the wine."
The cow and the donkey stepped out of the restaurant door and brought over a jar of wine. There was a red seal on the wine, and there were four words on the jar: Drunk life, dream death.
Niu Donkey said, "I have kept this wine at home for a month. I don't drink much by myself. There are many people today, so we will drink it once."
Niu Donkey put the jar of wine on the table, opened the seal, and poured three bowls. Cao'er said, "Pour me one bowl too."
The cow and the donkey asked, how much wine can you drink?
Cao'er said, one bowl, no more, no less, just drink one bowl.
Niu Donkey grinned and poured the wine. Niu Donkey said it was rare to have such a happy day and such a sumptuous meal. We drank and ate, chatting while drinking.
The cow and the donkey laughed and said, life is good nowadays. You see, we eat fish, shrimp, beef and chicken, wine and meat, and are really happy. I heard the old people say that in the past, we couldn't eat.
.People try all kinds of ways to eat. Some look for food in the grass, some look for food on trees, some look for food in piles of rocks, wherever they can think of. People look for food.
Fill their bellies.
Cao'er said. Today's cooking made my back hurt, so Ye Duhong had to rub my back at night. I cooked all the food today with all my heart. Don't be restrained, everyone, let go and eat.
drink.
The cow and the donkey said, of course, of course, I must eat and drink more today. The food you cooked, I smelled the aroma outside the door, and my mouth watered all over the floor.
Meng Hai said, we went to chop wood with the ox and the donkey. The ox and the donkey raised their axes and struck the tree. The tree became angry and wanted to eat the ox and the donkey. You still have to listen to me. From now on, we will chop wood at the foot of Wuling Mountain.
There are so many trees in the forest that you have to go to Wuling Mountain. Try not to get close to Wuling Mountain in the future. It's dangerous there and you shouldn't go there.
The cow and the donkey said, well, every time you take a bite, you gain wisdom. I will learn from this lesson and will chop wood in the woods from now on. They say that once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of well ropes for ten years. I was tormented by the tree demon.
Suddenly, my whole body was trembling with fear. You may see that I am fine on the surface, but in fact I am worried inside.
Ye Duhong said, don't talk about those who are unhappy, let's eat meat and drink wine, it would be great to be happy. If you ask me, the most important thing for people is happiness, so we will not get drunk today.
The cow and the donkey said, "Okay, that's good. You won't be drunk until you get drunk, and you'll rest once you're drunk."
They were laughing and joking around the dining table, and they were quite happy. Who would have thought that at this time, there was a cry outside the yard. The cow and donkey thought it was the neighbor's uncle coming to borrow an ax for chopping firewood, so they went out in response. The cow and donkey didn't see anything.
Sir, I saw a few soldiers standing outside the door.
Niu Donkey hurried back to the restaurant and said in a hurry, "What's going on? There are many soldiers in the yard. Are they trying to capture me to become a soldier?"
While Niu Donkey was talking, Ye Duhong and others had already heard the noise outside. Those noises were made by weapons and soldiers' armors. The sounds were powerful and could scare the courage of cowards.
Niu Donkey, Ye Duhong and others all left the restaurant and came to the yard. A soldier leader came over, raised his sword and shouted, "Hey, there are a lot of people, come here, I have something to tell you."
This is the home of Niu Donkey. Niu Donkey was the first to stand up and walked forward. He said, "I said, what do you want to do with so many of you coming to my house? Are you trying to arrest me and become a soldier? I won't go."
, you’d better find someone else.
The soldier leader said, stop talking nonsense. I came to you today under the order of the general to talk to you. Now that our Free Army has arrived here, it is an honor for this place. The people here should naturally contribute biological supplies, food, clothing, housing and other daily necessities to our army.
, you all have to hand over half, and you have to hand over half of your family's money. If you hand over half of the novel coins, you can avoid many disasters.
Niu Donkey didn't understand, so he said, why should I give you money? I have a wife and children to support, and it's not easy to make money. If I give you all the novel coins, how can we live?
The soldier leader said, it is your honor to give us the novel coins. Your support will make the Free Army shine. The glory of the Free Army is your glory. If any of you dare to resist, then you are in league with the devil. Then
You are going to suffer, so think about it.
The people the soldier leader was talking to naturally included Ye Duhong and others. The spells of Ye Duhong and others could deal with ten or twenty soldiers. However, there were hundreds of thousands of Free Army soldiers here, which two or three people simply couldn't handle.
It is also difficult for them to have an attack. In this case, they cannot accept it.
The soldier leader said, don't blame me too much for speaking harshly. There is nothing you can do about it. I am just a small captain. This requires the people to contribute items and novel coins, but you must obey the general's order, otherwise the general will treat you badly.
You're welcome.
Next to the captain stood the deputy captain, holding a whip. There were nearly ten people next to the deputy captain, also holding long whips in their hands. They were probably also deputy captains.
The deputy captain standing at the front is shouting. Why are you farting here? Go get the novel coins. Take out half of the novel coins at home. If you dare to be late, you will have to pay more.
Niu Donkey said, what did you say? Ask me for money? Why?
The deputy captain raised his hand and swung it down, and the long whip struck the cow and donkey in the face like lightning. The cow and donkey were suddenly hit by the whip, and a blood mark suddenly appeared on the face. The bloody mouth opened and it was really painful.
The cow and the donkey covered their faces. Ye Duhong ran over and helped the cow and the donkey who had fallen to the ground, and asked, how could you do this?
The deputy captain ignored him, waved his hand, and a soldier ran over. This soldier had paper and pen in his hand, and he came to register people's names. After registering their names, they asked people to pay money and hand over things.
, no one should be left behind, and anyone who dares to hesitate will be fined.
The deputy captain, who was holding a long whip, pointed his whip forward and asked, "What is your name?"
Ye Duhong. Ye Duhong said.
Where is he? The vice captain asked.
His name is Ox and Donkey, Ye Duhong said.
What about you? The vice-captain asked again.
My surname is Xiang, and my name is Xianghuaer. Caoer said.
